B In 1962,American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring,a book that would change how people viewed nature.It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs.The book caused immediate debate.Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly,as Carson's warnings threatened their established and profitable practices.Despite this opposition,the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed. Carson's deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania,where she explored the woods and streams near her home.This passion led her to study biology,which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing. Before Silent Spring,Carson was a marine biologist and writer.She spent four years carefully researching for the book,gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides.She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts. Knowing her work would be criticized,Carson believed the public had the right to know the truth.She continued her efforts even while she was sick,and she died in 1964.However, her influence lived on.Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement,led to the ban of DDT in the U.S.and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist. 24.Why did chemical companies campaign against Silent Spring? A.They found numerous scientific errors in the book. B.Carson's warnings posed a threat to their business interests. C.They believed the book would confuse the general public. D.Carson refused to share her research data with them. 【高二期中考试·英语第3页（共8页）】 26-L-536B 25.How did Carson's personal background contribute to her environmental work? A.Her career as a writer provided her with the funding needed for research. B.Her work as a marine biologist directly exposed her to pesticide pollution.

D.Her childhood experiences and formal education in biology shaped her advocacy. 26.The text suggests that Carson's research for the book was characterized by its A.comprehensiveness and sources variety B.reliance on government reports C.focus on theoretical models D.speed and efficiency 27.What is the main idea of the text? A.The scientific process behind banning DDT. B.The debate between environmentalists and chemical companies. C.The history of pesticide use in the United States. D.A book and the lasting impacts of Rachel Carson. C It was the summer before junior year.I was a waitress at a little restaurant.My duties were straightforward:taking orders,delivering food and cleaning tables.I got really good at managing multiple tasks,and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible. These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer.They're what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs.I developed those skills.But I don't think that's the main benefit high school students get from working. So much happened in the interstitial()time and spaces between our roles as waitresses, cooks and customers.This is where I think the value of a high school job lies:learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known. High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes,and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities.It's not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school.But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school. This relief came not from avoiding people,but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school.The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do.They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them,learn from them,and love them. 28.What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work? A.Developing responsibility and skills.B.Learning to form a community C.Earning money for college. D.Making friends with different people. 29.What does the author say about high school life? A.It is highly school-centered. B.It only focuses on academics. C.It lacks meaningful activities. D.It provides adequate social opportunities. 30.What did the author learn from people at the restaurant? A.Friends should share similar interests. B.Workplace relationships are temporary. C.True friendship requires constant agreement. D.Meaningful connections can bridge differences. 【高二期中考试·英语第4页（共8页）】 26-L-536B 31.What is the author's main conclusion about her job experience? A.It helped improve her academic performance. B.Its greatest value went beyond skill development. C.It confirmed traditional views about student jobs. D.Its main benefit was earning teachers'approval. D Sharks are dying at staggering rates,primarily due to fishing activities.Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction.While some sharks are intentionally targeted,more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away,contributing significantly to their decline. In response,regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention() bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks.Currently,17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries. A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality()rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups:smaller sharks,deep-water species,and those requiring constant swimming to breathe.Notably, thresher sharks,hammerheads,and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30%to65%. The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average,this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks. The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step,but they must be combined with other measures.These include changing fishing gear(for example,not using steel wires in longline fishing),protecting key shark.habitats(especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up),and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught.Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation. Moreover,the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes-such as rays,skates,and chimaeras.These fishes face similar threats of extinction,but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing.The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies. 32.What does the underlined word "staggering"in paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Safe. B.Steady. C.Alarming. D.Declining. 33.Retention bans require fishermen to A.avoid fishing in shark habitats B.release accidentally caught sharks C.use special equipment to protect sharks D.limit the number of sharks caught per year 34.Which sharks are most likely to die after being released? A.Those living in shallow waters. B.Large species near the coast. C.Deep-water species. D.Species with slow reproductive rates. 35.What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about? A.The retention bans need to be further improved. B.Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful. C.Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively. D.Focusing only on young sharks is important. 【高二期中考试·英语第5页（共8页）】 26-L-536B 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Camping is a fun and exciting way to learn about nature,especially when you go with a group.36.Here is a simple guide to help you get ready.

Hosting twenty people meant endless cooking,cleaning,and stress-while spending the holiday at my sister's house promised a relaxed day with no responsibilities.But her sincere look made a flat“no”impossible.“Maybe,”I replied,my way of avoiding her nonstop,lawyer-like debates that always turned“maybe”into“yes”. "YES!"she screamed,waving her hands as if she'd just gotten really lucky."Why are you celebrating?It's just a‘maybe',”I smiled.“Because‘maybe'from you always becomes‘yes',”she said with unshakable confidence.She had me there-her determination had worn me down more times than I could count. Over the next week,I made a mental list of reasons to visit my sister:no grocery runs, no deep cleaning,no slaving over a hot stove.Then something unexpected happened-I won a turkey at the YMCA contest.I joked that my daughter must have arranged it on purpose,but her excited "YES!"when I told her confirmed her certainty:we were hosting."Why do you want this so badly?"I asked."I want to decorate,bake,and have everyone here together," she said simply. Her excitement was incredibly uplifting,but I decided to test her resolve."Okay,.but you're in charge of grocery shopping,cleaning;and helping with every step,"I said.Again came that overjoyed "YES!"and wave of her hands.I smiled,thinking she had no idea what she was signing up for.But I was wrong. That night,I found her planning in a notebook:decorations,a grocery list,and a cooking timeline."I got Grandma's pie recipe and Mrs.Carter's turkey tips,"she said,holding up a printout.Her commitment surprised me. 注意1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Throughout every step of the Thanksgiving preparations,my daughter threw herself into the work.
